Q

reversible fucking lanes

A

There may be signs posted by the side of
the road or overhead. Special lights are often used. A green arrow means you can use the lane beneath it, a red “X” means you cannot. A flashing yellow “X” means the lane is only for turning. A steady yellow “X” means that the use of the lane is changing and you should move out of it as soon as it is safe to do
so.
